Initial Problems And How We Overcame Them

When editing the footage of Hazelle's interview, we decided to integrate some of Hazelle's 'Suicide Girls' modelling photographs as they are very vibrant and would make the construction of our documentary look more sophisticated. Our main issue with this was the audio from the footage of Hazelle's interview, as we had to detach the audio in order to link the clips of the interview with the photographs. This would enable us to have the audio playing over the photographs of Hazelle's tattoos and her modelling photos, and then meeting the clip from the interview after the sequence of photographs. We really struggled to match the audio and the clips as it was very difficult to cut the footage precisely. After a lot of patience, we eventually got the audio in time with Hazelle's speech.

The other problem we have been struggling with is deciding on what music to use at the beginning of our documentary (during the footage from Camden Town), and the music to play during Hazelle's interview. With the music at the beginning of our documentary, we wanted to use a track with a heavy drum and bass/dubstep baseline to attract a younger audience. Finding a song that fits this genre, and also fits in with the fast paced editing of our footage has proved very difficult. Here are some of the songs that we have been experimenting with:

High Contrast - Pink Flamingos:

Mount Sims - Black Sunglasses:

Adele (High Contrast Remix) - Hometown Glory

... and many others.

For Hazelle's interview, the problem we have been experiencing is choosing a track that is quiet enough to enable us to hear the audio from our footage over the music. We soon realised that any music with lyrics wouldn't work, as the words would clash horridly with Hazelle's speech and neither would be heard properly. We eventually considered Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (Instrumental): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHZ7TNnRuos, and although this is not our final decision, this song has proved the best out of the songs that we have tested so far.
